Adjusting shutter speed

\015 Hi...have a sanyo VPC E870 digital camera and have been trying to figure out how to change or adjust the shutter speed...have not been able to locate the information in the manual or on-line...if you could provide assistance, that would be greatly appreciated...thanks,Cory\015

Answers :

Hi - There is no direct way to set the shutter speed. This camera relies on the selection of a "scene" mode to automatically set the speed and aperture. All you can do is select the scene mode closest to your lighting conditions or the type of picture you are taking. Something to guide you are the speed & aperture numbers in the bottom of the LCD screen as per 11 and 12 in the picture below from page 7 of the manual:

The other thing you can change is the ISO speed see page 21 in the manual.

Experiment & let us know how it works out!

Shutter speed I am new to digital cameras and I just purchased a Sony fd-83.
The specifications say that the min shutter speed is 1/8 second and the max shutter speed is 1/4000 s. Nowhere in the manual or on the camera can I find how to adjust the shutter speed. Can someone help?
Thanks Till

Hi Till. If I am not mistaken, the shutter speed on the FD-83 is automatically set and does not provide for manual override. I will check today with our product manager to verify this. ...

F-stop issues when i set the camera to the M setting on the dial, the only thing its letting me adjust is my shutter speed and ISO. I can't find a way to also adjust the aperture setting. I can do everything else, but not that. And if I switch to Av, I can't set my shutter speed.... help!

Shutter speed I have had my camera for 6 months. Today I used it for soccer pics and put it on sport mode and every pic I took is blurry. We looked on the information of the pics and the shutter speed is really low. My husband started to look and try to manually adjust some things and the speed will not change. States LOW. I also looked at the soccer portraits I took right before the action shots same day...and some of those are a little blurry as well. What could be wrong?
Please help!

Shutter speed I'm trying to work out the mode which gives the shutter speed of 1/1500 I think it's the 'sports' mode but unsure if aperture will also need adjusting Is this right? If not how do I achieve fastest shutter sped? Thanks

On most fuji cameras the programmed shutter speed for the sports or action mode is 1/1600. This is the mode you need to use. You should not have to change the aperature unless you have a problem with the light. This is the most difficult shot to make ...

Shutter speed on the auto mode of my s1000 camera seems slow. how can it be increased in the auto mode? This is a Fuji camera and by the time I press the shutter button subjects have moved. I have set the camera back to the original factory settings and I can adjust the shutter speed in the manual position but in auto it seems really slow.

You need to press the shutter button half-way and allow the camera to lock in the focus before you press the rest of the way. This eliminates "shutter lag". ...

Shutter speed My Canon XTI will not let me adjust the shutter speed in manual mode. Anyone know what the problem might be? The camera has been idle for the last month.

Suddenly I can't control the aperture with the sub command dial in the manual mode. I have tried a "hard reset" and the two button reset to factory defaults. In M,A and S modes the shutter and aperture values will disappear and only return after a two button reset.I can adjust the aperture in A mode with the command dial.The shutter speed is adjustable in M mode with the command dial.

In Manual mode only the front dial can be used to set the aperture. That is probably In Aperture mode you can only choose the the Aperture. Shutter speed is automatically chosen. That is why the shutter speed value will disappear.In Shutt ...

Cannot adjust aperture or shutter speed in manual modes

Pink tinge When I shoot a picture in bright sunlight, the picture always has a pink tinge to it. I have tried putting in manual mode, and adjusting the shutter speed and the f setting but I just can't seem to to get this to stop. I have also tried to adjust the white balance. I am new at doing this and I would like any help you can give. Thank you.

Try reset to factory defaults, it is in the menu somewhere if it does not help look closely on the lens if there is any damage, are you using any filters ? if all fails then you have faulty image sensor, Nikon will replace it free of charge even out ...

We adjusted the settings to fast shutter speeds and now get a "systen error - focus" and cannot take pictures and the motor is not pulling the lense back in when we switch it off. We can hear the motor turning but it does not appear to work. Also the front protection shutter does not close properly.

Can I adjust the shutter speed on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 so I can take pictures of waterfalls with the water blurry and the background in focus? Can I adjust the depth of field so my subject is in focus and the background is blurry?

You're asking a lot of a point-and -shoot camera. For the waterfall, set your ISO for the lowest setting and put your camera on a tripod. Shoot when the day is cloudy. For a shallow depth of field, the best you can do is use the zoom at maximum and s ...

Brightness I recently bought the Olympus Stylus 700 and took it on a vacation with me and it worked fine, but shortly after returning, the camera began to take extremely bright pictures, in fact if there is any natural light (not produced by the flash), there is nothing but the vague outlines of some objects. I adjusted the shutter speed to little avail and even thought formatting the memory card would help. Now I have no idea what else to do, aside from taking it back for its warranty.

My d50 will only take photos in automatic - the dial doesn't appear to allow me to move it into manual mode. The electronic analog exposure display does not come up and I can't adjust shutter speed etc. Thanks for your time!!!!!

Focus problems. I have a Canon 5D. I find that a lot of my pictures are not pin-sharp. I have adjusted the aperture setting to create less depth of field, and have also increased shutter speed to eliminate the possibility of visible had shake, but still...a lot of soft focused shots. Any suggestions?

The canon 5d was suspected to produced low sharp pictures, but it's wrong. Sharpness is a parameter on the 5D. You can tune it in the menu/image style/ then you choose your style and hit "jump". The first cursor is sharpeness. Enjoy. ...
